Pieces and weapons are moved on a playing board which represents the ground floor plan of Mr. Boddy’s palatial mansion. The object is to solve by elimination and deduction the mysterious murder of Mr. Boddy, whose body has been found in one of the rooms.

This classic game is sold as Clue in the US by Parker and Cluedo in the UK.by Waddingtons. See Cluedo 1st. edition for more information. There are subtle differences between the 2;
- Mr. Boddy's palatial mansion replaces Tudor Close
- Mr. Boddy replaces Dr. Black
- Mr. Green replaces Rev. Green
- wrench and knife replace spanner and dagger
- colour sketched pictures replace the plain black and white photos and floor plans.
